| Hi,
Yesterday, our quest for lavender for our terrace ended with 3 different lavender varieties. We purchased these "lavender called" plants but we need your help to identify them.
I uploaded a photo of them with numbers and I appreciate if you can name them. Thanks :) |

| Thank you very much boston3381, you sent a very detailed, helpful reply, more than I expected. I checked other photos of each variety and I think you are right about them. The variety in the first picture has very rigid leaves and yes, it is woody.It also has a yellow/green color instead of pale gray/green color. It is the one with the strongest smell. I hope these additional information helps. Thank you :) |
